INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN ARTS, CRAFTS & CULTURE FAIR (IAACCF)
INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN ARTS, CRAFTS & CULTURE FAIR (IAACCF)

  • Proposed ​Date: 4TH-6TH APRIL 2025
    ​Venue: Toronto, Canada

    This is the rare moment for us to celebrate the hidden gems of Africa through innovation and inspiration.

    An opportunity for all Africans to come together to showcase as well as express our strength to the whole world through our curated and unique business ideas, arts and crafts.

    The African Culture goes beyond our attire, food, festivals and language. It includes our values, beliefs and behavior.

    To Most people in Britain, Europe, North America, South America and other developed countries,  'Africa' means man and wild animals live together, all Africans live in huts, monkeys are all over streets, all Africans are poor, no technology in Africa, just to mention a few.

    The scourge of old stereotypes continues to plague Africa and this IAACCF is necessary in order to debunk the ill, demeaning and false mentality the western world have about Africa.

    Let us show the whole world our intelligence through innovative creations and productions by African Entrepreneurs.  

    Let us all join hands, register and actively participate to make this project a success.

    Other Indigenous Products 

    The awe of African clothing is a beauty to behold. African clothing and fashion is a diverse topic that provides the look into different African cultures. 

    Clothing varies from brightly colored textiles, to abstractly embroidered robes, to colorful beaded bracelets  necklaces with footwears to match.  Since Africa is such a large and diverse continent, traditional clothing's differs throughout each country. West African countries have distinct regional dress styles that are the products of long-standing textile crafts in weaving, dyeing, and printing. Attires worn in urban areas are different from the rural localities. Urban societies typically are exposed more to trade and the changing world, while it takes more time for new western trends to get to rural areas. For example, Ghanaians wear 'kente' with beads and traditional slippers called 'ahenema', Nigerians wear 'asoebi' and 'dashik'i, Senegalese have the grand 'boubou', East African wear 'kansu', 'kanga' and 'gomesi', South Africans wear 'madiba' shirts and Zimbabweans wear safari shirts ,Ethiopians wear 'habesha kemish' whilst Somalians wear 'khamis' with a small cap called 'koofiyad' among others. Come and enjoy beautiful and variety of fabrics in flamboyant colors in their splendor. 

    The visual arts of native Africa, particularly sub-Saharan Africa including such media as sculpture, painting, pottery, rock-art, textiles, masks, personal decoration and jewelry.

    some African art has value as entertainment; some has political or ideological significance; some is instrumental in a ritual context; and some has aesthetic value in itself.

    From the ornate cave paintings of South Africa's Cederberg Mountains to the abstract masks of myriad regional traditions, African art incorporates an extraordinary array of objects, materials, media, and themes. One striking aspect of African painting, pottery, and sculpture to Western viewers might be its marked difference from historical works produced in the European Renaissance tradition, with their emphasis on vanishing-point perspective and a form of naturalistic representation. Equally, traditional African art should be explored on its own  terms for the themes and motifs that unite much of it.

    Register to exhibit or visit the 1st IAACCF to experience the best of Africa's arts

                                                                Don't miss this life changing opportunity.

    Although wood is the best-known medium of African sculpture, many others are employed: copper alloys, iron, ivory, pottery, unfired clay, and, infrequently, stone.

    Traditional African art shares marked characteristics, in spite of its geographical differences. For example, many African sculptures are united by their intended function as talismans or vessels for communicating with the dead ancestors during religious events. As such, many works remind us of the close relationship between art and spirituality throughout human history; the fact that centuries-old traditions have survived in many African cultures gives us a vital window on the origins of human creativity.
